Puppies for Adoption in Decatur, AL: 14 Puppies Looking for a Home

She has been raised in a wonderful foster environment surrounded by children, other dogs, and adults who have handled, cuddled, and socialized her from the beginning. Those early experiences have helped Winnie become a confident, loving puppy who is ready to continue learning with her forever family.We think Winnie will be an especially wonderful fit for a family who enjoys being together and wants a dog who can grow up alongside them. She would love a fenced yard for those backyard adventures, a family willing to play fetch and teach her new things, and people who will appreciate her sweet, thoughtful nature. She is smart and eager to learn, so a family who enjoys training and watching a puppy discover her talents will have a lot of fun with her.Winnie is expected to grow into a beautiful 45–50 pound girl with a short coat. She is still very much a puppy, which means she is also in the “everything goes in my mouth” phase. Fingers are currently competing with chew toys for her attention, so we feel older children, 10+, would be the best fit. She will need patient adults who can give her consistent guidance and redirect that puppy enthusiasm toward appropriate toys.But underneath those puppy teeth is a girl with an enormous capacity to love. Winnie is thoughtful, affectionate, playful, and wonderfully curious. She is going to be the kind of dog who learns your routines, knows when it is time to play and when it is time to settle down, and eventually becomes the companion who seems to have always belonged there.If you are looking for a puppy who can be your backyard playmate, your adventure buddy, your student, your shadow, and eventually your best friend, Winnie may be exactly the girl you have been waiting for.Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com

Now Teddie is ready to take his next adventure—finding his forever family. This boy is smart, curious and always ready to see what’s happening next. He loves to run, explore and investigate his surroundings, and you can almost see the wheels turning in his head as he discovers something new. He is the puppy who will happily follow you on an adventure and make sure he doesn’t miss a thing. But after all that exploring, Teddie has another favorite activity: being held like a baby. That’s when his softer side comes out. Once he has had enough running and playing, he is perfectly happy to curl up in your arms and soak up some love. There’s something pretty irresistible about a puppy who can go from little adventurer to cuddle bug in a matter of minutes. Teddie is expected to grow to around 45 pounds, making him a wonderful medium-sized companion when he is all grown up. He is already turning heads with his handsome black and tan tri-color coat—and those eyes! Just look at them. They have a way of making you feel like he is looking straight into your heart. Teddie has the intelligence to keep you entertained, the curiosity to keep life interesting and the affectionate nature to make you wonder how you ever lived without him. He is expected to do well with dogs, cats and children, making him the kind of puppy who could fit beautifully into many different types of families. His life began with a momma who was simply trying to survive. Now Teddie has the chance to grow up knowing something very different: what it feels like to be safe, cherished and completely loved. He’s ready for his forever adventure. Maybe it’s one that starts with you.

Meet Shamrock, a 5-month-old Pit Terrier mix who decided his first big adventure should be an unexpected solo trip around the Maplesville area. Unfortunately, no one came looking for this handsome little guy. But Shamrock isn’t letting that keep him down! He has officially moved on to Plan B: find himself a forever family who thinks he’s pretty darn awesome. Now, we should probably mention that Shamrock can be a tiny bit unsure when something new comes his way. But honestly? This kid is a BRAVE little explorer! Give him a minute to investigate, sniff around, and decide that whatever looked scary two seconds ago is actually pretty interesting. And people? He LOVES them. He wants to be where the action is, see what everyone is doing, and soak up all the attention he can get. At just 5 months old, Shamrock is right in the middle of one of the most important learning stages of his life. He should be busy discovering the world, learning puppy manners, experiencing new things, and figuring out how amazing life can be, not spending his puppyhood behind kennel bars. This boy has SO much potential. He just needs someone willing to be his teacher, cheerleader, adventure buddy, and forever person. Shamrock may not have had the best luck so far… but maybe his luck is about to change! Will you be the one to change it? (9/13/26 Hope)
Adoption/Transport Fee: $330.00

I LOVE other dogs! I get along well with my canine friends and would do especially well in a home with another active, playful dog who can help me burn off some of this puppy energy.

I’m playful! I may have grown up in the shelter, but I haven’t lost my goofy puppy spirit. I’m ready for someone who will give me the chance to experience all the fun things a dog should get to enjoy.

Leash walking? Let’s just say we’re still working on our relationship. I’m learning, and with patience, consistency, and someone willing to teach me, I know I can become a great walking buddy.

The truth is, I’m just a big puppy who has spent way too much of her puppyhood in a shelter. I’m ready to finally learn what it feels like to have a family, a comfy bed, toys, adventures, and someone who chooses me.

And there’s even MORE good news…

MY ADOPTION FEE IS SPONSORED AND REDUCED TO JUST $50!

Sometimes the best dogs have the hardest beginnings.
Susye’s second chance began when a Nashville Fire Department EMT realized that the homeless woman caring for her would not be leaving the hospital. He could not bear the thought of this young dog being left with nowhere to go, so he brought Susye home and made sure she was safe.
For the past months
Susye has been living with her firefighter foster dad and his four dogs. She has been a happy, peaceful addition to the family and has settled into home life beautifully. She is crate trained when needed, loves using the dog door, and enjoys spending time in the fenced backyard.

Now fully vetted and spayed, Susye is was born approximately the first of January 2026 and is ready for a forever home with the stability she deserves. She weighs 43 pounds.
We believe Susye may be a
Terrier and Heeler mix
. She is bright, active, affectionate, and eager to be part of whatever is happening. Like many young herding and fast as the wind. She will do best with regular exercise, engagement, and continued training.
Although Susye adores her foster dog siblings, they are all older. Her foster dad cannot help but think she would especially love a home with a
younger, playful dog companion
who can match her energy and enjoy growing up alongside her.
Her firefighter foster dad also works 12-hour shifts, and caring for five dogs has become more than he can reasonably maintain long-term. Susye is loved and safe, but this was always meant to be her stepping stone—not her final destination.

She would thrive with a family that can give her companionship, consistency, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to use her smart young mind. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, and another playful dog would be a big bonus.
Susye has already experienced more uncertainty than any puppy should. Now she is ready for the part of her story where she belongs somewhere for good. If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at

He is a sweet, easygoing little guy who is incredibly gentle with a 3-year-old toddler in his foster home. He also does wonderfully with older children, adults, and people he meets. Ollie has no fearfulness and no rough edges to his personality—just a soft heart and a happy spirit.

When he is not cuddling near his people, Ollie is busy doing important puppy things: chasing bubbles, watching butterflies, sniffing every inch of the yard, playing fetch, wrestling gently with his dog friends, and joining in on the morning zoomies. He may even decide a bullfrog is worth investigating if one happens to cross his path.

Ollie has been in foster care for three weeks and has already blossomed into such a happy, loving boy. His foster mom has been delighted to watch his personality shine brighter every day. He would love a home with children, another playful dog, or simply people who want a loyal little companion close by.

If you are looking for a puppy who is handsome, gentle, playful, and wonderfully special, Ollie by Golly may be your perfect match. Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to learn more. Please include your city and state. Ollie is fostered in Tennessee, and adoption is available in Tennessee as well as throughout the Northeastern corridor with weekly transport.
